Fuel Tank Security Solutions for
Bulk Carrier and Bulk Freight Transportation Fleets Vehicles
Silo and bulk freight carrying vehicles often remain parked for long periods at construction sites, factory grounds, and remote facilities; this creates an attractive target for fuel thieves. Fuel Guard solutions stop invisible fuel losses in the field by protecting the fuel tank cap, bottom discharge plug, and float areas of these vehicles with special apparatus, providing direct savings to the business.
Bulk freight logistics is an activity that requires high operational continuity, ensuring the uninterrupted transport of critical raw materials such as cement, sand, grain, mine ore, and similar. These transportations are mostly carried out in areas with limited security infrastructure, such as construction sites, mine quarries, and large industrial facilities far from city centers. Bulk freight vehicles parked for long periods in these fields are under serious risk in terms of unauthorized fuel withdrawals made over the fuel tank.

Silo and Bulk Freight Transportation Fleets
When the risk of fuel theft in construction sites is a concern, the threat is not limited to siphoning with a hose from the fuel tank cap. Thieves target the drain plug and fuel float inlets, which are the weakest points of the fuel tank. Large amounts of fuel can be withdrawn in a short time through interventions made at these points, and the situation is often not noticed until the vehicle is started.
These types of insidious fuel losses reach thousands of liters across the project, leading to serious financial damage. Additionally, a vehicle with an emptied fuel tank being unable to start its morning shift directly disrupts not just a single vehicle, but the entire production and construction process.

Fuel Guard, How Does It Contribute to Your Business by
Protecting Your Vehicle's Fuel Tank Security in the Bulk Carrier and Bulk Freight Transportation Sector?
- Bulk carriers often have to overnight at insecure construction sites or remote facilities. Fuel Guard provides fuel security and zeros out the risk of fuel theft by preventing interventions that can be made to the fuel tank cap, bottom plug, and float inlet in these low-security areas.
- Our fuel tank security systems, designed to provide fuel protection in tough field operations, provide a fuel theft prevention guarantee by physically locking the tank cap, float, and bottom discharge points. The fuel security kit applied to your vehicle makes it impossible to withdraw fuel with a hose from the outside or to make unauthorized interventions to the tank.
- During unloading, the engine needs to run at idle for a long time for hydraulic systems. In this process, fuel consumption increases and theft may become unnoticeable. The system prevents fuel losses and unauthorized withdrawals during waiting periods by physically closing the fuel tank inlet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do the Dusty and Dirty Environments where Bulk Carriers and Bulk Freight Trucks Operate Damage the Fuel Guard System?
No. Qualified Fuel Guard systems are manufactured to withstand these challenging industrial conditions. Products are made of steel or durable aluminum, and the flow channels that provide fuel filling are designed to make the accumulation of dust and dirt difficult. Fuel Guard aims for long-lasting and trouble-free operation while providing security.
Does Fuel Guard Provide Security While Bulk Freight Vehicles are Idling for a Long Time at Construction Sites or Factory Grounds?
Yes. Bulk carriers and bulk freight trucks have to keep their engines idling to operate hydraulic/pneumatic systems during unloading or loading. Fuel Guard ensures that the vehicle's fuel tank is protected against being physically stolen during these critical waiting periods and prevents the operation from being interrupted.
Can Deceptive Fuel Filling Hoses Used in Bulk Carrier Operations Bypass Fuel Guard?
No. Fuel Guard anti-siphon devices contain complex barriers in their internal structure to prevent even hoses that are flexible, thin, or tried to be manipulated in different ways from reaching the fuel level. In this way, it provides permanent and effective protection against various siphoning tools used by thieves.
